Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??My brother has a Compaq computer. its a 266Mhz, 32MB RAM, 10GB Hard Drive. I can add an additional 64MB for $6.00.
Currently, it has Deli Linux installed on it, which is very basic but seems to do ok.
So, would Elive work on this laptop and how fast/slow would it be???
Also, my mom wants to use this computer for switched on schoolhouse (home school program that requires windows XP). Can win work on elive, on this laptop, to run this program or not?? I think the program needs more memory that 96MB but, I do not know.

Obviously you won't have e17 on those systems though.]]>TorllanHardware, Wifi's and DriversMon, 17 Aug 2009 08:11:30 -0700http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2943#msg-2943Re: Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2943#msg-2943mbrHardware, Wifi's and DriversTue, 28 Apr 2009 08:43:46 -0700http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2794#msg-2794Re: Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2794#msg-2794KolHardware, Wifi's and DriversSat, 28 Mar 2009 08:19:04 -0700http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2766#msg-2766Re: Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2766#msg-2766>> Hi!> I have a similaire probleme with my IBM/100Mhz/64k> RAM/2G HD.Can I install Elive?No.The "recommended hardware requirements" are:

* 300 MHz* 128 Mb of RAM* At least 2.5 GB of disk space (for full installation and swap space)* VGA graphics card capable of 640x480 resolution* CD-ROM driveYour comp doesn't even meet the minimum requirements. Throw another ethernet card in that sucker and use it as a firewall.]]>ccbenzHardware, Wifi's and DriversSun, 22 Mar 2009 12:46:26 -0700http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2522#msg-2522Re: Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2522#msg-2522Just try, no harm]]>gondeeHardware, Wifi's and DriversSun, 01 Feb 2009 07:41:49 -0800http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2396#msg-2396Re: Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2396#msg-2396I have a similaire probleme with my IBM/100Mhz/64k RAM/2G HD.Can I install Elive?]]>abojkovaHardware, Wifi's and DriversMon, 08 Dec 2008 01:13:47 -0800http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2207#msg-2207Re: Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2207#msg-2207It is worth trying!]]>adwHardware, Wifi's and DriversWed, 15 Oct 2008 16:37:03 -0700http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2010#msg-2010Is Elive good for a slow Laptop??http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?13,2010,2010#msg-2010Currently, it has Deli Linux installed on it, which is very basic but seems to do ok.
